If everyone on the planet used the same amount of resources as an average American, what percent of the Earth would

Biology
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D. 200%

Explanation:

While Americans constitute the 5% of the world population, they use around the 24% of the world's energy.

Then, if the 100% of the population were like the Americans, we have:

5%*x = 100%

x = 100%/5% = 20

the whole population is 20 times the population of the US, then the total energy used is 20 times the energy used in the US.

Then the energy that the 100% of the population would use is equal to:

20*24% = 480%

So we actually would need like 5 Earths.

The option is 200%

The lysosome functions in a cell like the _______ does in our bodies.
Troyanec [42]
Lysosomes remove waste at a cellular level.
They contain digestive enzymes, so they're like the digestive system.
The stomach digests food, so lysosomes could be considered like the stomach.
But then again, so do the intestines, small and large.
Since the stomach doesn't also work to remove waste though, I'd say the answer is probably large intestine, which finishes the digestive process and removes waste material.
